They took great care of the place, re-did the entire kitchen at their expense & maintained it immaculately.

I had to repair the driveway, new fence, do the roof suffice, new kitchen cabinets for one of the units, fix the front and rear decks/porches, installed security cameras, eviction cost of 3k, dumpster cost, paints, interior door

Washer dryer in units, improve kitchens and baths and exterior What was the outcome?

We had 8 doors, reception, kitchen, conf room.

Scenario: 2 bed 1 ba house in high appreciating area in southern ca (west of the 5 for anyone who lives in San Diego) which is high priced now but being coastal and in an up and coming area is set to roll. 1 granny suite in the back with full kitchen and bath + Separate barn unit (not zoned for a dwelling unit but is carpeted). 

Are you going to enforce on-time rent payments or let the tenant get so far behind they can never catch up?

Don't miss the 25 year old boiler, don't assume you can renovated  kitchen without having some plumbing and electrical work involved (even minor stuff will cost).

New Central Air, brand new kitchen and 2 new bathrooms.

I have a Duplex renting in South Lake Tahoe and was thinking of allowing pets because I'm having a hard time renting so far. 

Anyone who has experience in Demo and rehab or rebuilds please get a hold of me.  1 bed 1 bath, Kitchen, bath needs to be redone, rip up the carpet and put down a floating floor.
